Granted: 1913-12-01
Abstract: 27,597. Marks, E. C. R., [Iceless Refrigerator Co.]. Nov. 30. Actuating; loose-ball valves.-The supply of a refrigerating medium such as liquid ammonia to the evaporating and expansion coil of a refrigerating-apparatus is controlled automatically by a thermostatic apparatus. The liquid ammonia passes through a scale trap 42, valve 43, and pipe 11<a> to a ball valve 22 in a T-fitting 19 carried by a casing 13. The ball valve is normally held on its seat by a spring 23 adjusted by a plug 25. The casing 13 is divided into two chambers by a diaphragm 17 resting on a plug 29 and supporting a pin 27 fitting in the valveseating plug 20. The coil 10 in which the evaporation and expansion of the ammonia takes place leads from the upper chamber 13<a> to one side of a diaphragm casing 35, and the expanded gas returns by a pipe 12 to the re-liquefying apparatus. The lower chamber 13<b> is connected by a pipe 40 to the other side of the diaphragm casing 35. The pipe 40 contains a suitable fluid preferably ammonia obtained from the liquid ammonia supply through a by-pass 31 normally closed by a valve 32. The temperature of the ammonia confined in the tube 40 when the operation is started, is sufficient to raise the pin 27 and lift the valve 22 off its seat to admit ammonia into the refrigerating - coil. The frost line advances as the coil becomes colder and eventually reaches the casing 35. The temperatures of the diaphragm in the casing 35 and the confined ammonia on the other side are thus much lowered, and the upward pressure on the plate 17 is so reduced that the spring 23 closes the valve 22. When the temperature in the refrigerating - coil rises, the valve 22 is again opened, and the operation repeated.
